If you don't require motion sensing nudging or a analog plunger you can get a simple keyboard controller like this:

Buttons like this:

Couple of ground wire harnesses like this (you'll probably need two):

And some .187 quick connect wiring:

1 1/8 inch spade bit to enlarge or add cabinet button holes:

After that it's just assorted HDMI cables, USB Extension cords, a computer and a partridge in a pear tree. I keep my computer outside of the cabinet in case I want to use it for other things and keep the heat out so my cables are long. The TVs don't generate much heat. And currently I just turn the TVs and computer on manually.

I built my own speaker grills out of foam board and acousticly transparent cloth.

I made one with this cabinet kit here and it turned out great!

It was also very easy to put together.

I didn’t buy the buttons on that website. I used this set from amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2X88QP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LhiaCb58GD9DY

And these extras

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N11BDX9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OiiaCb502ZZ0G

I chose to use those buttons because they were easier to hook up and didn’t require any real knowledge of electronics or wiring. They snap into a to a usb board and plug right into the computer. There is no delay that I can notice.

The play field is a 27 inch monitor and the back glass is an 18.5 inch monitor.

I also used some command strips to put an old pair of computer speakers inside of it.

As for the computer I used this one, but it was a bit over kill

Edit: just saw that you were good on wood working so you probably don’t need the info about the cabinet kit, sorry about that

I too preferred the bumpers for Pinball FX, but broke so many of them, I had to switch to the triggers. I went through a few of these to fix them: https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Bumpers-Replacement-Triggers-Buttons/dp/B07KR1DJ8C/.
